Hi Hotpasta,

You know your stuff and you probably figured that this might take a beatin' at DPC.

I think you have a cute shot and i have no technical advice to offer except that a tighter crop might have been nice(about 50-60% tighter). Its a tough one because you have captured a nice sense of action, the reflection in the water is very nice, but the yellow BG is a pretty big distraction for me. But, the challenge was pretty restrictive so...????

Actually i think that shifting your shooting position to the right to use a 100% yellow BG would have been the best choice. Of course then you would have likely had another table in the way.

Cute shot but not destined for big scores on DPC :)

I love your work and look forward to many more.
Cheers and God bless.
Mark

good capture and witty--though i would have zoomed in a bit (or cropped some) to minimize the distracting yellow background OR convert it to B&W.
